live free or die UNIX!

I have been trying my hand at Unix for quite a while now but things didn’t get serious till today. And its now that I have realized that I love the damn thing almost as much as I hated it a while back (read yesterday!). Love at first sight…that’s what you kids call it these days right? LOL! I admit.... it’s not fancy but it redefines utility in a whole new way! Now I can see why the world is divided into 2 basic classes of people. Of course…there are always those creeps who think a whole lot only to stick with the “Cant Say!” or “It Depends!” option. I should know…I swing between being one of them and being a person with a firm opinion every now and then as well.Anyway, I was so impressed with what all I can do with Unix that I just knocked myself out logging on to various remote servers using SSH. Although I could just log onto my web mail account and check my mail…I remotely logged onto the University Information System and used Unix commands to check it instead. I forwarded, deleted, replied and did all that stuff REMOTELY! Hah! If try to put your imagination at work you will probably see my rubbing my hands together as though I have stumbled on the next big idea of world domination! And why not! It could be possible. I say this coz I am presently using a shell…so I obviously haven’t even come close to harnessing the true potential of this demon! In fact I was so impressed with this baby that i looked into a little bit of history its history! It sure has come a long way since the 1960’s. And that’s another reason why I like it…I love retro! I live retro! Gimme the 60’s and the 70’s and Woodstock any day…and I wont every come back! Not even into the arms of the one I love! Screw Love…Free Spirit RULES!!!
